Atlas of Backscattering Kikuchi Diffraction Patterns
(Microscopy in Materials Science Series)
by D. J. Dingley, K. Z. Baba-Kishi, V. Randle
Hardcover
Published by Iop Pub/Inst of Physics
Publication date: February 1995

Book News, Inc., 08/01/95: Monochrome photographs obtained from 46 metals, minerals, ceramics, semiconductors, and six of the seven crystal systems with different Bravais lattices and point group symmetries, provide a comprehensive handbook to identifying crystalline phases. Diagrams on the facing pages highlight salient features. Also reviews the history, theory, techniques, and interpretation of backscattering Kikuchi diffraction. Addressed to practicing electron microscopists in materials science. Complements another volume in the series on using Kikuchi diffraction techniques in both scanning and transmission electron microscopes to measure grain boundary geometry. No index or bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 12/01/89: Seven chapters by leading researchers review the theory and practice of using a new class of detectors for chromatography, based either on the emission of light in a chemical reaction (chemiluminescence) or on the absorption of light by the analyte to induce a chemical reaction (photochemical reaction detection). These ultrasensitive and ultraselective techniques may be useful to chromatographers faced with difficult separation or detection problems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Electron Microprobe Analysis and
Scanning Electron Microscopy in Geology
by S. J. B. Reed
Paperback, 201 pages
Published by Cambridge Univ Press
Publication date: July 1996

Book News, Inc., 11/01/96: Covers emerging technologies in fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy and their applications in disciplines including chemistry, physics, computer science, engineering, medicine, and pharmacology. Presents critical evaluation of theoretical and practical aspects, detailing methods, instrumentation, and potential applications and focusing on how the technologies can be combined to yield two- and three-dimensional measurements and to manipulate samples in real time. Includes color images. Of interest to professionals in fields including biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience, as well as those in industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical research. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 10/01/95: A self-study tutorial introducing one of the most important techniques in analytical chemistry to readers with a solid foundation in chemistry and physics, and hopefully in chromatography. Provides a basic working knowledge of the principles and theory of the technology. The second edition incorporates new information on capillary columns, detectors, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and data handling; no date is noted for the first edition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 11/01/96: Incorporates practical information necessary for successful GC/MS operation into a single source, useable by the novice as well as the experienced GC/MS user. Included are a practical review of GC/MS technology, details of conditions for separating 29 specific compounds (the heart of the book), a section on using ions for determining unknown structures, and 12 appendices. Spiral wire binding. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 03/01/89: These 16 papers consolidate the basic theories of chromatography and present technical developments in the field. A state-of-the-art overview of a wide range of fundamental and applications-oriented issues. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 04/01/96: In a work of rare interest and great beauty, micrographic artist Breger presents a series of photographs which reveal the hidden world that emerges under the scanning electron microscope. Some two hundred images, 28 in color, emphasize the complexity of even the most minute forms in nature, from the architecture of invisible Antarctic seashells to a fragment of 2,000-year-old living wood from the Tasmanian rain forest to a 201-million-year-old pollen grain. Scientists whose research specimens were used to create the images tell the stories behind the pictures. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Book News, Inc., 05/31/94: First published in German in 1970 as a text for a training course for laboratory technicians, and last published in English in 1988, explores the possibilities and problems associated with the separation method and analytical technique most widely used today. Considers both theoretical and practical aspects. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title.
